Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: PDF Viewer, defect, P3)

Description

[Tom Monahan]

Attachment: PDF Document Referred to in Bug Report

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:74.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/74.0

Steps to reproduce:

With native Firefox PDF viewer enabled, go to lvmga.golfclub.net and in the documents section in the right column, click on the document "Our Advertisers" to see the problem with hyperlinks embedded in graphic images. The document is also attached. Mouse over ads identified with hyperlinks, and the yellow hyperlink highlight box that appears is misaligned with the corresponding graphic. This is particularly noticeable with smaller ads near the end of the document.

Actual results:

While the hyperlinks work, they are misaligned with the corresponding graphic image when viewed with the native pdf viewer particularly smaller ads near the bottom of the document. Document was created using PowerPoint. Because of the misalignment, the hyperlinks incorrectly overlap other graphics that have no hyperlink and the hyperlink doesn't work over the entire graphic where it is expected to work.

Expected results:

The hyperlinks should be properly aligned with each graphic its associated with and should work over the entire graphic image. PDF viewers in Chrome and Edge as well as standalone pdf apps like Foxit Reader or Adobe Reader display graphics and hyperlinks properly and as expected. Only the native Firefox pdf viewer creates this issue.
